Johnny English 3 has officially started production

Working Title films have officially announced that filming for Johnny English 3 has begun with David Kerr stepping onto set as the film’s director.

Rowan Atkinson will return to his buffoon spy character for the first time on the big screen since 2011’s Johnny English Reborn. In the past, Kerr was directed episodes of Fresh Meat,That Mitchell And Webb Look and Inside No. 9.

Not much is known about the third entry to the Johnny English trilogy but it will hopefully do better than Reborn in the box office.

While the 2003 original starring Ben Miller and John Malkovich alongside Atkinson grossed $28 million domestically, the follow-up, arriving eight years later, only managed to pull in a meek $8 million.

Johnny English 3 has been on the table but an image surfaced this week of a clapperboard on the set of the new movie.
